Right, I understood you correctly.  =:)  I think it's bad that we'd overlay 
the formatted name that the user might have previously specified just so that 
kaddressbook displays something in its "Formatted Name" column.  I'd feel 
much better if kpilot's addressbook conduit _never_ touch the formatted name.
